Watch for the boil over after you add the extract and hops. If heated up too quickly it will be all over the stove. (yes I did this) :mug:

Thanks for the help! Its already in the fermenter. But I will definatly be trying the hop tea to try to pick out which one ill use. Thanks! Also What would you have used in place of the chinook? Edit: I have some Saaz that I might use to dryhop! Does using 4 types of hops in one beer...
